Obviously, the invention may be applied to many forms of bags and similar arti-- cles although it will be described infconnection with There is golf bags. no specific this invention is designed tov be used and it is found to Although be highly practical on all forms. adapted for use with anybag, it

is particularly useful and economical vonk a bag of th knitted cylindrical stocking with 'a suitable e type lcomprising-.a continuously base and no stays.y In manufacturing bags, considerable diiliculty is encountered inatta'ching the ball pocket to the side wall of the bag, a to attach i nd the present invention proposes t directly .to the'shoulder strap betere the latter is secured to the bag, whereby the bag can becompleted without the necessity of attaching the ball pocket thereto. It

is quite obvious that the pocket could be re# movably attached to the strap, as by snaps, rings or other suitable means, in which case the bag and strap could be first made and the pocket att Reference will now be hadto the accoinv ached later.
